This encyclopaedia of Martin Parr covers his long career as an image maker and has an insightful text written by longstanding friend and colleague, Val Williams. The book was produced to accompany his retrospective exhibition at the Barbican in London, which then toured over 10 more venues. A detailed analysis of Parr’s development and career shows how he became a passionate collector of ephemera.

This 2nd edition has been updated with new photographs and a chapter assessing his most recent photographic work, as well as his film-making, curating, collecting and editing.
